On his part, MetroTrans Investment Ltd.

“With the new fleet, MetroTrans will be able to enhance its service delivery, expand its routes, and provide a safer and more comfortable experience for passengers. This partnership has and will continue to be instrumental in helping us meet the growing demand for reliable public transportation,” he noted.
The buses are different from the popular Metro Trans fleet of matatus given that they are dedicated to transporting staff upon hiring by companies.
